Archive for June, 2008. Making a Date with a Crisis. Regardless of our circumstances we often share the same thoughts. The notion It can’t happen here , is such a common way of looking at disaster, that even Kissinger got into the act with his famous There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full. Humor aside, disasters happen regardless of what you had planned for the week. How badly they affect us, is determined by our ability to respond. Something happens, before it actually occurs...

I get Twitter now – finally. April 2, 2009 at 4:30 am. First thing worth mentioning? I have no way to prove this, but I suspect that more than a few readers of this infrequently updated blog have just bypassed this post because they saw the word ‘Twitter’ in the subject line. I did the same thing for three years. Twitter? Not interested. Nothing there for me. Nothing to see here. Move along. Why mention him if I’m trying to build a case for an association getting involved with Twitter? There is a segment...
